I am a Burmese exile taking a near-permanent refuge in New York and Sydney. Here are my essays about Burma and anything else I feel like writing about. And posting the articles I like from selected sites. Bridging Burma to the world this Blog is more of a Politically-Oriented Literary Blog than a Plain News Blog or a Sophisticated Thoughts Blog.

During that preview, he discussed Trump as president-elect, which he
said he was acting as if he were already commander-in-chief. “I heard you on
the other side of the break talking about the fact that I’ve been covering
presidential transitions since Ronald Reagan in 1980. I have. And this is just
as different,” Wallace said. “In fact we’ll call the program ‘The Trump Way’
because he is doing things differently than any president-elect I can remember.
In a sense, he is almost more the president than the president is.

“We pay more attention when he speaks
about China or what he is going to do about jobs or economic policy and saving
jobs,” he continued. “It has more traction than when President Obama says
things. So he is not waiting until the takes the oath of office on January 20.
He is kind of the commander-in-chief already.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is
partaking in one of the nation’s most storied football rivalries, saluting U.S.
troops at the annual Army-Navy game on Saturday as he prepares to enter the
White House.

The future commander in chief attended the 117th game between the
military academies at West Point and Annapolis, which is being held on
relatively neutral ground, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Trump tweeted on Saturday morning that
he was going to the game “as a show of support for our Armed Forces.” He
planned to spend the first half of the game in the box of David Urban, a West
Point graduate and Republican adviser and the second half in the box of retired
Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, a graduate of Annapolis.

A Trump transition official said Trump
would not formally switch sides at halftime in the traditional symbol of
commander in chief neutrality because he is not the sitting president. The team
member spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the president-elect’s plans.
Trump is a 1964 graduate of the New York Military Academy near West Point.

Before the game, Trump met with Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, a leading
contender for secretary of state. Trump’s pick to lead the State Department is
among his most significant decisions and the deliberations have become a source
of tension within his transition team, with chief of staff Reince Priebus said
to be backing Mitt Romney while other advisers oppose the idea of selecting the
2012 GOP nominee, given his fierce criticism of Trump during the campaign.

Tillerson, who has led Exxon Mobil
since 2006, and also met Trump earlier in the week. In addition to Romney,
Trump has also been considering Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker and John Bolton, the
former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trump announced Friday that Rudy
Giuliani, the former New York mayor who was an early favorite, was no longer
under consideration.

Trump’s appearance at the football game
was capping off a week of rolling out Cabinet picks, holding “thank you”
rallies in North Carolina, Iowa and Michigan, and trying to cement his incoming
Senate majority with Saturday’s runoff election in Louisiana.

The incoming president appeared jovial
and relaxed as he plunged back into electoral politics on Friday, a full month
after he won the presidency. He held large-scale events in Louisiana and in
Michigan, where he regaled supporters in Grand Rapids by reciting his victories
in battleground states. Trump is the first Republican to win Michigan since
George H.W. Bush in 1988. He attributed his feat to failures by Democrats.

In private, people close to Trump said
he was expected to name yet another Goldman Sachs executive to his White House
team. The president-elect’s National Economic Council is to be led by Gary
Cohn, president and chief operating officer of the Wall Street bank, which
Trump repeatedly complained during the election campaign would control Hillary
Clinton if she won.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Donald Trump was
greeted with cheers on his arrival at the annual Army-Navy game on Saturday,
basking in the one of the nation’s most storied football rivalries as he
prepares to enter the White House.

The future commander in chief, protected by panes of bulletproof glass,
waved to the crowd and pumped his fist as he arrived during the first quarter
of the 117th game between the military academies at West Point and Annapolis.
The game, on a sunny but chilly day, was being held on relatively neutral
ground, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Trump, in an interview with CBS Sports
announcers Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson, said he was “totally neutral” on
the outcome of the game and quipped that he might make Lundquist, who was
retiring from the play-by-play booth, his ambassador to Sweden.

“I just love the armed forces, love the
folks. The spirit is so incredible. I mean, I don’t know if it’s necessarily
the best football, but it’s very good. But boy do they have spirit,” Trump
said. Navy has won 14 straight contests in the rivalry, but Army’s underdog
Black Knights led at halftime, 14-0, hoping for an upset comparable to Trump’s
unlikely victory in last month’s election over Hillary Clinton.

Trump spent the first half of the game
in the box of David Urban, a West Point graduate and one of his Republican
advisers in battleground Pennsylvania, and the second half in the box of
retired Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, a graduate of Annapolis.

Taking a break from his deliberations
for his Cabinet, Trump was joined at the game by several top advisers,
including incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, senior adviser
Steve Bannon, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump’s
choice for National Security Adviser. Former Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim
Nicholson was also spotted inside the box.

Trump did not formally switch sides at
halftime in the traditional symbol of commander in chief neutrality — which
President Barack Obama did most recently during the 2011 game — because Trump
is not the sitting president. The incoming president is a 1964 graduate of the
New York Military Academy, a private prep school near West Point.

Trump’s appearance at the football game
capped off a week of rolling out Cabinet picks, holding “thank you” rallies in
North Carolina, Iowa and Michigan, and trying to cement his incoming Senate
majority with Saturday’s runoff election in Louisiana.

One of the organizers of the march,
Charlie Kerr, [said] they began organizing the protest right after hearing
Trump would be in town. They realized it wasn’t much time, but felt it would
normalize the president-elect if they did nothing. “We thought it was important
to show there are people who oppose him and don’t want him in our town,” Kerr
said.

One of the groups, the Mid-Atlantic
General Defense Committee, is reportedly using social media to organize and
amass a crowd prior to Saturday afternoon’s matchup. Around a hundred
protestors had gathered as of noon EST.

Baltimore was victim to massive
protests in 2015 after the death of 25-year-old resident Freddie Gray.
According to the Wikipedia page detailing the protests, 20 police officers were
injured, at least 250 people were arrested, 285 to 350 businesses were damaged,
150 vehicles were torched, 60 structures were burned, 27 drugstores were
looted, thousands of police and Maryland National Guard troops were deployed
and the city declared a state of emergency.

This is the 117th meeting of the two
teams, with Navy holding a decisive lead and winning the last 14 games. Kickoff
is at 3 pm EST.
